韓院長首先誠摯歡迎訪團一行，表示史國為臺灣於非洲地區唯一邦交國，今日特別邀請跨黨派委員於現場一同接待，顯示立法院的重視，也期盼深化雙方國會交流。
In his remarks, President Han first extended a warm welcome to the delegation, noting that Eswatini is Taiwan’s only diplomatic ally in Africa. He explained that legislators from across party lines were invited to attend the meeting, demonstrating the Legislative Yuan’s high regard for the visit and its hope to further deepen parliamentary exchanges between the two sides.
院長進一步指出，欣見史國近年經濟表現亮眼，本年及明（2026）年的平均經濟成長率可望達6%，展現堅實的經濟基礎與發展潛力。臺灣非常榮幸能成為史國推動國家發展的堅實夥伴。自1995年起召開部長級經濟技術合作會議（JMC）迄今，每年都舉辦部長級的會議，期待雙方能持續制度化的合作關係。
President Han further said that he was impressed by Eswatini’s strong economic performance in recent years, with an average economic growth projected to reach 6 percent this year and next (2026), reflecting a solid economic foundation and promising development potential. He added that Taiwan is honored to be a steadfast partner in Eswatini’s national development.

President Han then hosted a banquet for the delegation together with attending legislators. During the luncheon, both sides engaged in extensive discussions on a wide range of issues. President Han noted that Taiwan’s advanced technology and medical expertise could strengthen bilateral talent cultivation and exchanges, helping to enhance Eswatini’s human resources and healthcare quality in the fields of technology and medicine. In response, Speaker Mabuza expressed his hope that more outstanding Taiwanese physicians would visit Eswatini for exchanges in the future. Legislator Chang also recalled assisting Eswatini officials in seeking medical treatment in Taiwan in the past, witnessing firsthand the tangible benefits Taiwan’s healthcare system has brought to its diplomatic allies. Speaker Mabuza also mentioned that Taiwan’s textile technology has long assisted Eswatini in upgrading its garment industry. Legislator Kuo, who had just returned from a visit to Taiwan’s diplomatic ally Paraguay, added that Taiwan’s mature textile expertise has helped many allied countries upgrade their industrial capabilities and boost economic growth, not only strengthening bilateral relations but also serving as an exemplary model of international cooperation. Regarding educational and academic exchanges, President Han proposed encouraging the people of Eswatini to learn Mandarin Chinese. Legislator Mai echoed this view, noting that Taiwan has long dispatched Mandarin teachers to Vietnam to promote cultural understanding through language exchange. She added that Taiwan is one of the most friendly countries in the world, and expressed confidence that language exchange would further strengthen ties between Taiwan and Eswatini.
